It's all about this:
Even the man hole covers refer to it:
The
Alhambra is an Islamic palace and fortress, started in the 9th century but really built up in the 11th century. Touring the many gardens and buildings is a major undertaking. Whew! Book tickets ahead of time and plan for at least 1/2 day. Go in the morning when it opens. It's cooler and you beat the crowds, sort of. Get a guide.

My favourite shot.
The gardens are many and varied. This was a beautiful rose blooming in late September. |
 |
| The view of Granada from the fortress |
 |
Palacio de Generalife: simple summer house for the Kings.
Nice cottage. I could live here.
It is situated outside the walls of the Alhambra but in the complex, so nobles returned to the fortified part of the palace at night. |
 |
| This is the money shot apparently. A few professional photographers were setting up shots. The reflection in the pool is what one is after supposedly. |
 |
Court of the Lions. Magnificent.
(Cats again ;-) |
 |
| A quiet, cool, corner of the palace. |
 |
| I know the feeling. Exhausted tourista. |
 |
| Another flower shot in the gardens. |

"Reading the paper, watching the street."
I was walking around Granada and captured this moment. |
 |
"C'mon play with me, pleeeeezzz."
Granada cats. |
